ABSTRACT
The extrinsic motivation strategies described in chapter 6 are designed to stimulate students to engage in classroom activities effortfully because completing these activities successfully will bring them valued rewards. When motivation is purely extrinsic, the activity itself is not valued except as an instrument that students can use to obtain rewards that they do value. In contrast, intrinsic motivational strategies apply when students value (or can learn to value) participation in the activity itself. These strategies are based on the idea that teachers should emphasize academic activities that
students find inherently interesting and enjoyable so that they engage in these activities willingly without any need for extrinsic incentives.
